Axios: Trump looks at regular Iran strikes
According to the website "Axios," U.S. President Donald Trump and his senior aides are considering the implementation of limited, targeted strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz. The goal is to prevent Iran from rebuilding its missile and radar capabilities aimed at ships. This plan was developed over the past week and has been endorsed by Defense Secretary Betsy Hesketh. The initiative aims to reduce the risks of Iranian attacks on oil tankers and U.S. military vessels, especially as tensions escalate following Iranian missile strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan. These attacks raised concerns in Washington about Iran's efforts to restore its military capabilities. In response to earlier Iranian assaults, the United States conducted strikes against Revolutionary Guard elements preparing to launch missiles. Iran responded directly by bombing a base in Jordan with rockets, prompting Trump to threaten a strong retaliatory response. An Iranian official warned that any American attack would be met with a response "ten times greater." Naval security operations also continued, with the U.S. military announcing the removal of mines from the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran reported the death of three individuals in recent strikes and warned against violating navigation rules, threatening a proportionate deterrent response.
